Although Dorothea was not a psychologist or therapist of any kind she knew that improving conditions for the mentally ill would help them. In one of her testimonials to legislature she shared this “some may say these things cannot be remedied, these furious maniacs are not to be raised from these base conditions. I know they are…I could give many examples. One such is a young woman who was for years ‘a raging maniac’ chained in a cage and whipped to control her acts and words. She was helped by a husband and wife who agreed to take care of her in their home and slowly she recovered her senses”.
Kate also believed that education was the key to success in life, she valued learning and this was because of Matt’s influence on her.

The outcome of this decision in the end is what transforms the mother as a character. The mother’s transformation in the story was being able to gain trust over Jerry, when in the end he returned joyful from his days at the beach. At the beginning the mother lacked that confidence and trust over Jerry being able to securely spend time by himself. Even though he had nose bleeds and looked pale in the end, the pride of the mother over Jerry’s ability to take care of himself prevented her from noticing anything being out of the ordinary.
